285 45 22s on oem replicas. I went the budget route to get me into some 22s. Now im wanting to upgrade for a little more sidewall to either 275 50 or 305 45s. What y'all think?

I would go with some 285 50 22s
That's a little over 33" the 305 45 is 32.8" so you get a little more sidewall with the 285s and they fit without rub in stock suspension

Would love some 285 50s but all ive found are really expensive and 10 ply which is gonna kill mpg. Thats why I thought about 305 45s but the width is gonna also kill mpgs. Probably settle with 275 50s.

Depending on where you live I have the stock 275 50 22 alenza tires for sale. I think they go for 250 each so I'd let all 4 go for 600. They have a little over 4000 miles on them

I'm in Western KY. Almost bought the Alenzas on EBay but I've heard they're not that great for the $$. Thinking about going with Radar on Simple tire. Got great reviews and is 60k tire.

Discount Tire had ordered me a set of black lug nuts, but they were delayed so the chrome lug nuts are temporary.

17 inch Method MR701 Bronze 

35/12.5/17 Toyo Open Country R/T

Eibach pro truck lift struts and springs 3” lift in front, TB 2” block in rear. 
1.25 spacers all around. Very tight clearance with the spacers but I’ve done lots of trimming and I’m still getting some rubbing in full lock but it’s not bad. Tires are amazing, smooth as silk on the freeway and super quiet.

Do you have any pics of the full truck? What is your wheel width and final offset? 

 

I have a 17x9 et1 with 285/75R17s going on the truck on Tuesday.

Thats awesome man, I love the look.  Did you have to do a lot of trimming to get everything to fit?

So you’ve got a at4 which is already higher and then u add another 2” of lift? And u say those tires r rubbing bad?? At the dealership where I bought my slt the manager was driving a stock slt with factory rims with 285/60-20 ko2. No rubbing, no issues. Ur willing to cut up and butcher a $60K+ vehicle just so u can run those stupid ass wide rims? Faak I wish I had ur money!

    • When I was there, most to all did not have an hour meter. They just did 5000 miles on regular vehicles and 3000 on police stuff. The modern oil change monitors should take into account engine hours, weather, etc. I don`t use the monitor on my stuff. I pull the stick, look at it, smell it, rub it between my fingers, etc. That`s my oci.   I have had many engines. Some bracket race. No problems doing things my way. I was in the mechanic business for 30 yrs or so. I still do things the old school way. Don`t care who laughs at me.   Understand, I was in the main shop. We didn`t do oil changes or tires. We had a service station for that. I don`t remember the hours they used for tractors, lawn mowers, etc. Something in my head says 250 hours.
    • I don't know how far back vehicles had hour meters, be it driver accessible or diag accessible but was wondering if there was any rule of thumb your shop came up with in regards to an hour limit on engine oil regardless of the miles on the oil.    I know with construction or farm equipment its almost always based on engine hours for maintenance scheduling as no other metric really applies other than a seasonal time limit that one self imposes on items like engine oil.  
    • I'm not sure what to say on that mess but I will say that is an odd thing for that mechanic to speculate on as per assuming its been run out of oil a few times as the odds of that engine having instead piled up with a complete seizure would be very high if such events had actually taken place. However there is nothing saying that the oil has ever been changed although once again, what filter was on that engine as that would tell part of the story if its possible to figure out if its a factory installed filter or not. Too many items unknown and a lot of speculation, but regardless of that its one fubared mess that is mind boggling to see for a vehicle that new and its hard to imagine how it ever made it that far in life looking at the top of the engine.    His scanners, I've watched him before here and there and I'd have to say if I recall correctly that some of his scanning equipment is one or two steps up from a child's Exo Sketch 😋
    • I agree. That`s a LOT of sludge for 12,000 miles. I tossed that out here since this is an OCI thread. There`s tons of people here that do not post.   I used to work on a city fleet. That includes police cars and fire trucks. Lesson is, not to only use the odo for oci. A police car has a ton of hours on the engine for the miles it shows. And, not just idling, directing traffic. They beat on these things.   Course, since it is a Kia, they were gonna use the "100,000 mile warranty" for their OCI.😉
    • CLASS ACTION SUITS?  Does anyone know if there is already a class action suit for the paint - which was to have been fixed, changed in after the 2020 GM vehicles?  Does it look like this?    Just started 3 weeks ago - No help from GM as of yet - Dealer will not assist in speaking with GM on my behalf. Confirmed it is the paint they use along with the way the put it on that causes it to fail.  Clearly a Manufacturer's Defect.
